Make sure everyone who attends
the open house leaves with a flyer that
lists your price and describes the property.
Hold your Open House on a Sunday or Saturday. Make sure your
Open House is not competing with major sporting events on T.V. or in the
community.
Be sure to have a guest book to get the name and address of everyone who
attends.
Make notes, jot down positive impressions and comments, and make sure you
can get back to people who show interest. This becomes especially important
if you lower your price or change terms later on.
You may want to have blank sales contracts in case someone wants to buy
your home.
Put up an Open House sign in your front yard. Attach balloons to draw special
attention to your yard sign. If you are on an extra-quiet street, place
directional signs at intersections leading in from the main streets.
Freshly baked cookies or bread is always nice. The aroma fills the house
and creates a wonderful atmosphere.
Anyone can show his or her home, but if you are truly reclusive, hire a
gregarious relative or friend to help host your Open House.
Be sure to through in a few innocent questions while showing the house
such as: "Are you planning on buying within the next two or three
months?" "Have you applied for a mortgage ?" |
